Hi, Andrew.  This command returns the executable, /etc/crontab, some man 
pages, then these entries

Mine, amanda backup, and yum headers.  Everything owned as it should be.  
Nothing there, I think.

It's beginning to look as though there is a bug in chkrootkit bringing up this 
warning and I'll just have to live with it.

Thanks to all who tried to help.
